Anthropology: A Soft Science?

Because Anthropology as a whole is the study of human beings so archaeology fits more into this field of study because of that and because they do more than just dig up artifacts. They attempt to reconstruct past lives of ancient people. They will most likely work with Social Anthropologists as well which also includes Biological Anthropologists.

don't paleontologists do the same thing for a wide range of clades? could a paleontologist collaborate with ecologists and systematists in the same way an archaeologist collaborates with social and biological anthropologists?

According to Google...

> Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth as reflected in the fossil record. Fossils are the remains or traces of organisms (plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other single-celled living things) that lived in the geological past and are preserved in the crust of the Earth.

Anthropology only limits itself to human studies, but now that I recall they would collaborate with paleontologists. I think there is a sub-discipline called paleoanthropology too. Seems like there are a lot of different types of studies although to my surprise there are differences between them. I thought they were mostly like the LGBTQIA community tackling on added letters, but there actually are differences.

Pretty much, if you find dead humans, dead plants and/or dead animals in your archaeological site, you call in anthropologists.

>as he is giving up a vast fortune from becoming an astrophyscist
??????

If Donald Trump told you to drink poisoned kool-aid would you do it? Serious question.

here and he would never tell me to drink poison Kool-Aid as I am white. He only wants to get rid of the dangerous people in America such as the Muslims.

>you will never be this indoctrinated into a cult
feels really good honestly

You get on my ass for being a part of a cult when you post a picture of Obama? What the fuck, man? Are you retarded?

>falling for the bait picture
Trumpcucks really are this stupid.

PROTIP: It's possible to post a picture of Obama to troll faggots such as yourself without necessarily supporting Obama.

>I tried to explain to him why this maybe a great mistake as he is giving up a vast fortune from becoming an astrophyscist

Look I know that you love acting like a nazi but /pol/ is satire not the rest of the boards

Keep that persona on that board and act like a normal person on the boards [spoiler]except /r9k/

You're going to be put into a Internment camp. One of Trump's surrogates has already supported this idea for Muslims. It's only a matter of time before they are expanded to accommodate other degenerates.

>but I don't understand why biological/physical anthropology is part of anthropology and not biology
Most of what is taught in a biology program is not useful to what you would need to know compared to a bio anthro program. I went through half a bio program and most of what I learned, aside from basic lab skills, wasn't properly transferable simply because of how much anthropology is actually involved in bio anthro.

Dank meme

>Trying to force your brother to do something he doesn't want to
>Thinking astrophysicists make good money

Side note: It's fun molesting real human bones and skulls in labs.

OP here and Neil Degrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist and he is loaded.

Why do I wish I were mentally challenged like the guy in this image?

They seem to be a fairly happy people.

>Plus evolution is a big lie
stopped reading there

yeah, it's best to let people pursue their own career

a little harsh but I also have a negative view of OP's designs

maybe it would be so in a different timeline

yeah it's an exaggeration, but not totally off the mark

maybe you should think about history then

yes, academic anthropologists can make a good living depending on the university

maybe your teachers encouraged liberalism, but that doesn't mean the field is intrinsically liberal

there's no evidence he supports that, he could be an anarchist

no because anthropology is already established with its own methods and practices

the study of human beings falls under the realm of biology

yes but they need to rely on cultural explanation as well

paleoanthropology is part of physical anthropology

I thought archaeology was supposed to be part of anthropology?

of course no one is that brainwashed

donald trump doesn't believe in climate change. he's just as bad as clinton

just because someone thinks differently doesn't mean they're indoctrinated

>
how is posting a picture of Obama an indication of a cult?

how is that bait?

it may not be a fortune but it's mroe than anthropologists

/pol/ is pretty much ignorant of science, and unfortunately not all of it is satire

doubtful

some people benefit from community college

he might not be as loaded as you think

speak for yourself

It's like you expect me to read all of that.

>it may not be a fortune but it's mroe than anthropologists
An academic working in anthropology and am academic working in astronomy will.make about the same, assuming they can find jobs (and neither one will have an easy time finding jobs.)

One of my Anthropology instructors runs a business with the goal of finding Anthropology majors work. So I guess there is that.

Can trannies be Anthropologists? Because I have a brother is is currently going through gender transitioning who is studying to become one. I just do not understand how someone who objects or claims not to object biology and science can end up majoring in a field that utilizes biology and science. Should I convince him not to go into this field?

>stopped reading there
man you might as well just commit sudoku nigga

I think his decision should he based on whether he can find a job with a PhD in anthropology, because that's what really matters in the end.

He's doing some modeling work on the side. Some regional magazine wanted to do an issue focusing on "trans beauties". What is sad is that he'll probably make more money doing this than any scientific work.
